Word-of-mouth leads in Atlanta - first time posting

A friend who works at a local manufacturer says there are openings not advertised online. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. They prefer people who can start within a couple of weeks. Should I visit in person?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Small employers often hire on recommendation. Ask neighbours, former co-workers and your library.
